Fast is a brand that makes intakes. Fast intakes are really good. make different sizes. typically people say stick with ls6 until you do heads or cam and then you will see a good enough improvement over ls6 to justify the high price tag.
Read the sticky on the top of this section and will outline all the bolt ons.
If you have the money, go FAST intake/TB setup no doubt.

how much of a difference does the ported tb and ls6 intake have on a ls1 with 230 cam .610/.610, long tube headers.

you running a lid? aftermarket cat-back?
most defintely a ported TB and LS6 intake will net some good power... a good start to go with and and help that cam breathe a little more.

A waste of money on something that looks like ****.
Buy these..
Lid- Just get a used one of here.. They can be had for around 50-80$ +shipping or shipped.
Cutout- 35$ brand new off Jegs/Summit.. Get someone to weld it up for you, should only be around 25$.
Ls6 intake/ported TB.. Get a used one on here.. DO NOT pay more than 310$ shipped on the intake... Be careful who did the porting on the TB.. There is a guy from the forums that sells ported TBs on ebay and does a good job on them, think it is like 70$ (pic has a lady holding it with huge ****)? And then you can sell your TB for some cash.
Cheapest route with more power gains.

Well I tell you what. Give me a couple of months to finish my 402ci and I will sell you mine for a good price. How long can you hold off?
